If you like this song than you’ve got to watch this documentary!

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 19, 2022

Filmmaker Lian Lunson uses a 2005 Sydney tribute concert to Leonard Cohen as a home base for her relatively shallow examination of the best folk singer to slit your wrists to.

| Original Score: C | Apr 23, 2009

They really dropped the ball on this one - despite unfettered access to L.C. himself, you get a rambling interview interspersed with what for the most part are poor cover versions of the man's songs.

| Original Score: C | Jun 21, 2007

Fans of his poetry-like songs whose lyrics conjure imagery of his thoughts and experiences, will revel in this emotion and music-filled tribute.

| Jan 25, 2007

Hit and miss tribute to the great melancholist.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 30, 2006

Cohen is clearly a songwriter's songwriter, and the resulting movie brims with an infectious passion for the man's melodies and sardonic wit. Unfortunately, the performances are interspersed with interview footage that is much less captivating.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 28, 2006

At various times poet, consort of beautiful women and Zen monk, his biog's intriguing too, all of which makes this doc highly welcome, even if it's at best a partial view.

| Nov 23, 2006

A mixed bag of interviews and musical tribute concert performances that range from great to awful.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 31, 2006

The fact is, any Leonard Cohen documentary automatically risks inelegance by contrast to its subject's artistic example. But here's the flip side of that coin: Cohen is so good that even an untimely, mediocre movie about him... resonate[s].

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 27, 2006

Cohen fans -- myself included -- will leave the film's interviews wanting more insight. Moviegoers unfamiliar with Cohen's long career will wonder why he warrants gushing testimonials from U2's Bono.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 8, 2006

Despite the missteps during takeoff and landing, the film does prove to be an engaging and beguiling journey with a true original.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 24, 2006

The proof of Cohen's genius is in the music, and Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man drives that genius home with virtually every stanza.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 18, 2006

Though a minor documentary and poorly filmed, there's still enough of the wordsmith's music to get over the mess.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 13, 2006

First-time filmmaker Lian Lunson has struck the mother lode here.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 13, 2006

Even if Cohen is your man, is this your movie? ... Despite Lunson's reverent efforts, I'm Your Man isn't The Last Waltz.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 7, 2006

I'm Your Man may be as close as we'll ever get to Cohen on film.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Jul 28, 2006

The film comes to life when Cohen is on screen.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 22, 2006

A moving tribute to this legendary artist's life and career.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 22, 2006

I'm Your Man never quite gets its man in a coherent frame, but for all its zigs and zags outside the lines, the portrait of Cohen that emerges is a fascinating one.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 20, 2006

An odd but enjoyable concoction of biography, music commentary and concert.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 20, 2006
